What is Chain (ch)

A chain (ch) is a unit of length used in surveying and represents 66 feet or 22 yards.

What is Yard (yd)

A yard (yd) is a unit of length equal to 3 feet or 36 inches. It is commonly used in the United States and United Kingdom for measuring shorter distances.

Conversion Formulas

To convert from chains to yards, you can use the following formula:

Yards (yd)=Chains (ch)×22

To convert from yards to chains, the formula is:

Chains (ch)=22Yards (yd)​

Examples

1. Convert 5 chains (ch) to yards (yd):

5×22=110 yards (yd)

2. Convert 14 yards (yd) to chains (ch):

2214​≈0.6364 chains (ch)

3. If you have 8 chains (ch), how many yards (yd) is that?

8×22=176 yards (yd)

Perform Conversions

To easily convert between chains and yards, simply use the conversion formulas provided above. Keep in mind that 1 chain equals 22 yards, and 1 yard is approximately 0.0455 chains. Whether you are working on a surveying project or just need to make quick length conversions, understanding the relationship between chains and yards can be useful.
